In the year 2012 World War III broke out. Weapons of mass destruction decimated the population of Earth. However, the civilisation survived and technological and biotechnological progress bore fruit in the shape of many useful and some deadly devices.

In the year 2019 one of the local factions used a new nano-virus to eliminate their rivals. It was designed to obliterate one group of people with a particular genotype and, as always, everything looked perfect. In design.

Within 24 hours the population of Earth was reduced to less than 100 million. The majority of those attacked by the virus died quickly, others died in pain and others... were changed by nano-bots into mindless, bloodthirsty beasts with only one aim - killing. No one suspected that the worst parasite of humankind would become their saviour.

Vampires, addicted to human blood, united their cunning minds and in the first and last common effort suppressed the army of microscopic murderers.

Special zones, later called cities, were created as a result of vampires` actions which made it possible for people to live fearlessly and peacefully. Beyond the protective barrier lay vast wastelands, places where only madmen wandered seeking forgotten knowledge, knowledge which would one day let us retake the Earth.

But who said you`re not a madman? You can`t be fully compos mentis to drink blood every day for breakfast, dinner and supper...

Become one of them, become a beast fighting for power and survival in a city no one has ever seen before. In the City.

`The City, you ask "almighty", how the City was created?`

`Yes, I want to Know,` anger shaped your face to a mask of fury and terror.

`You know that for this knowledge one pays with his non-life.`

`Tell me, you fool, or you will lose your miserable human breath...`

`So listen and be damned.`

Towards the end of the great war one of lesser armed groups, you could even say "a pack of looters", discovered an entrance to a tomb or maybe rather a restroom of one of the Ancients. Inside they managed to open a long ago closed gate. Barriers, which had been designed to hold back unwelcome guests, had been weakened as a result of earthquakes caused by nuclear explosions.

And thus for the first time in aeons a man faced creature called Za`gar, which was translated as One Who Can Change. However, in the sarcophagus there was something else apart from the skeleton...

Ha ha, I see you begin to understand. Yes, in the sarcophagus were the Stones. Not like these we can see today, but those pulsed slowly, but rhythmically with colours.

Those fools took them to their stronghold and told one of scientists to examine the findings. He hurt his hand during examination and drop of blood fell on the Stone and freed a particle of power. That, which was until that very moment a piece of crystal, became in a split second, a fluid mass. A Drop of that mass fell on a computer and thus nanites were created. Nanites, mix of human and machine driven by the will of the Ancient.

Directed by the will of the Ancient and powered by superhuman energy they began to change the environment into visions from undead vampire`s worst nightmares.<

And thus day by day the world was changed into wastelands ruled by bloodthirsty beasts, mythical creatures and monstrous nightmares.

And then one chosen from every eight races, yes lad - eight, set out on a journey to seek the Stones of Nightmares, as the crystals from the Ancient`s body were called.<

It would take too much time to describe the whole journey, but what is really significant is the fact that when they returned there were sixteen of them, eight men and eight women, one from every bloodline. HE was accompanying and no one could tell from which race HE originated and when HE joined the journey. However, the powers HE possessed were incomparable to anything they had seen before.

At dark, moonless night the chosen sixteen under Nameless leadership were performing ritual during which The Well of Souls was created, whirling abyss surrounded by sixteen megaliths which trapped souls of the Chosen. It was the time when they, using a strange spell linking them with power of Za`gar, made it possible to create artefacts that were necessary for raising and holding the barriers protecting the city.

`Many vampires devoted their non-lives to searching for the artefacts needed to gain nanites and power which they store. Many died seeking items containing mana, a mysterious energy of the planet used by human wizards. Even more vampires lost their souls to gather that what you call the Stones and is a germ of the power of changing, strange cells allowing to link various magical energies. They are created where nanites and mana accumulate in one place in great amounts. By odd accident the energy of the planet binds them together and frees from the power of the Ancient. But I think it isn`t what interests you the most. You want to know what happened to the remaining four races...`

When the barrier was being raised, an army of mutants, led by a demonic will, headed for the ritual circle. It had only one purpose - destroy everything on its way. The four most powerful bloodlines sent their offspring to prevent the obliteration. The remaining four races were too weak and were needed during the raising of the barrier. The ritual lasted for five dozen days and after that the barrier was raised to protect the city from beasts of the Wastelands.

However, those who returned from the Wastelands were mere shadow of the power they once had been. Clawed, wounded and starving for blood, they composed a really pitiful view. It was the moment when the remaining four clans decided to reassert their power. That who are called now Beastmasters, Thoughtcatchers, Absorbers and Cultists shoulder to shoulder slaughtered last members of the remaining four bloodlines of the proud race Vampire.

`And now flee, "powerful one". Hounds of the Council are on your trail`, said the elder and vanished in a morning mist. Somewhere on the edges of consciousness facts began to be put in order, you nearly knew who the elder was... Sounds of pursuit brought you back to reality. `Time to depart`, you said and disappeared in the fog, the same in which the strange elder faded away. But why had he seemed so familiar?
